Monsoon’s Timely Relief: Tricity Breathes Easier, Yellow Alert Remains
Light morning showers, followed by moderate evening rain, brought much-needed respite from the sweltering heat across the tricity on Wednesday, July 9, 2025. The downpour offered welcome relief to residents struggling with the intense summer heat.
However, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reissued a yellow alert for Thursday, July 10, 2025, warning of heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning. Citizens are advised to remain vigilant.
Temperatures remained relatively stable throughout the day, with a marginal decrease in the maximum temperature recorded. This offers a temporary reprieve from the scorching heatwave conditions experienced recently.
The forecast predicts partly cloudy skies with intermittent rain continuing until July 14, 2025. This extended period of rainfall is expected to further ease the heat and replenish water reserves.
The timely monsoon showers are crucial for the region’s agriculture and overall water security, mitigating the impact of the recent heatwave and ensuring a smoother transition into the monsoon season.
